5 Chapter 4 (1/2)
I managed to get ready on time despite the fresh wound on my thigh, I must have had injured myself in my sleep. I wiped my eyes to attempt to conceal the bags under my eyes in the hope that no one would saw it. I wore a vest similar to Neji but it was sleeveless, a black short and a pair of black sandals was ready beside me. I also wore my old robe on top of the vest; the robe was the only thing tying me to my mother. I doubt that anyone could make a connection to the symbol on my back. I thought that I was overdressed, but that was an occasion that I had never experienced before, I was homeschooled you see. I was tying the black cloth on my forehead when I heard a timid knock on my doors.
”Hikari-Nisan, are you ready?” Hinata called for me. I slid open my door.
”Yes, Hinata-sama. Where is Neji? Shouldn't he be joining us?” I asked while closing my door after I got out of it.
”N-Neji is already a genin; the strongest one at that. So he is with his team. Please d-don't call me Hinata-sama,” she said while following me to the gate.
”Oh, sorry Hinata. So, what is a genin?” I asked. I was following her when I noticed that a person was shadowing us.
”Genin is one of the ranks assigns to a ninja. Genin means you are a fresh graduate of a ninja academy, in other words, an apprentice ninja. Chuunin is the team leader for a small mission involving only genins and they are the average ninja. Jounin is the elite ninja which will be assigned a genin team of their own to teach them to be a full-fledged ninja. Hokage stands at the top. T-That is Naruto's dream,” she explained, surprisingly. It's the first time I heard her spoke so many words. Her eyes grew soft when she mentioned Naruto's name.
”You must have liked this Naruto person,” I teased and her face was more crimson than last night.
”I-I... please don't tell anyone,” she stuttered while her face went red as a tomato. I chuckled at her behaviour.
”Don't worry Hinata. I won't, I just couldn't resist teasing you a bit. So, do you noticed the man that was following us?” I said, changing the subject.
”Y-yes, Tou-sama had a branch member following me to school every day since after my first day,” she explained. I nodded as I took in her words.

”Hey, you! Thank you for your hard work, you don't need to follow her for now. I will be watching over her if I am around. You can go back and tell Hiashi-sama,” I yelled without looking back. I noticed that the man bowed and disappeared.
”T-thank you, Hikari-Nisan but I am working to stand on my own feet,” Hinata said as she hung her head. I patted her head and grinned when she looked at me.
”And I will be watching you,” I said. She nodded and smiled timidly. We were interrupted by the noise of people quarrelling with each other. I saw a man wearing the formal ninja attire with the same headband that Kakashi-san wore on his forehead carrying a yellow-haired boy all tied up.
”Iruka-sensei, let me go! Dattebayo!” The boy shouted.
”Not a chance! Oh hey, Hinata! And this must be the new student. Hikari, is that right?” The man said and the boy still struggling with his binding. I bowed at the man.
”Iruka-sensei, this is my brother,” Hinata said while gesturing at me.
”Hyuuga Hikari. Please take care of me,” I said.
”Nice to meet you finally, I'm Umino Iruka. Come let's go inside. We're late,” Iruka said. We walked together inside towards what would be my classroom while the boy struggled with his binding. Hinata went in first.
”Hikari, you wait here for a moment until I call for you,” Iruka asked and I said okay. He went in without closing the doors and he put the boy on the floor.
”Tomorrow is the ninja academy's graduation exam and you've failed it the last two times. This isn't the time to be causing trouble! Idiot!” Iruka yelled at him.
”Whatever...” I heard the boy muttered. I was immediately surprised that today was supposed to be my first day and already tomorrow is my final test. A sweat dropped on my forehead. I am so going to fail this.
”I know that we are way passing the time for this but we got a new student joining us. Please come inside,” Iruka announced. I was still in my reverie and I steeled my self to enter the classroom.
I walked into my class. There were a lot of murmurs coming from them. I could even hear the wordless squeals from some girls and grunts from the boys. I bowed to them.
”My name is Hyuuga Hikari. It's a pleasure to get to know all of you,” I said while grinning.
”Handsome much!”
”Kyaaaaa...”
”What is your birthday?”
”What is your taste in women?”
I could only laugh at their questions.
”ENOUGH!! Hikari please take a seat,” Iruka said and the class went quiet once again. I looked around the class and saw an empty seat next to the dark-haired boy who was brooding and looking outside the window. I sighed and picked up the tied up boy over my shoulder.
”Hey, what are you doing, idiot?!” the boy complained and struggled but I ignored him and sat him on the empty seat. I felt the black-haired boy stared at me and I returned his gaze. He merely grunted and resumed his brooding. Well, two can play at that game. I then turned to the yellow-haired boy.
”I am going to untie you if you would behave. So what's it going to be?” I asked him. The boy just gritted his teeth and said yes.
”What is your name?” I asked while untying the knot.
”Why do you care?” he seethed.
”Well, I have to call you something and I doubt you would like me calling you names that you didn't like. Besides, you looked like a fun person to get along with,” I grinned.
”Uzumaki Naruto, Dattebayyo!” Naruto said.
”See? That's not so hard. Now move over a bit,” I said and Naruto accidentally nudged the black-haired boy. They both engaged in an intense glaring contest. I sighed at their behaviour. Iruka, on the other hand, had finished writing something on the blackboard.
”Now, let's do a Henge no Jutsu quick lesson and a quick test soon after,” he announced. All of the students groaned in disbelief.
”Hikari never has been to a ninja academy before so we have to show him the ropes,” Iruka continued. I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my head while I said sorry. There were the wordless squeals and grunts again and I noticed the black-haired boy snorted at me.
”Thinking I am beneath you, is it?” I thought to my self.
I glared at him and when he returned to his usual brooding, I focused on Iruka's lesson which was surprisingly enough was easy.
”Time for the test, everyone line up. Transform PERFECTLY into me,” Iruka ordered. Everyone in the class managed to successfully nail this jutsu which is a sign that this is an easy jutsu. I gulped; if I flopped this, I might lose face to the black-haired boy, Uchiha Sasuke who made it in one go.
”Ok, good. Next, Uzumaki Naruto,” Iruka said after Sasuke managed to do the Jutsu in one go.
”This is your entire fault,” I heard a boy said as Naruto walked forward.
”Like I give a damn,” he replied. Naruto stood at the spot, touched his goggles, made a hand sign and said Henge. He then transformed into what looks like an older naked voluptuous version of him with some cloud covering that doesn't leave much to the imagination. Iruka looked like he was going to pop his eyes out and afterwards, blood shot out of his nose. Everyone barked out a good laugh, it was funny as hell except for Sasuke of course. Naruto, on the other hand, was laughing proudly.
”I call this one Sexy no Jutsu,” he proudly said.
